first you need to get knowledge of the past and present of any coin you wants to trade. Keep an eye on the market as well as other coins. Whales will do the rest of the things

other than that if there is a special trick to start trading for beginners, what are the factors triggering the ups and downs of prices? when is the best time to buy or sell? and is there a coin that can be used as a reference up and down the price? thanks .

Well we have all different preferences that we use to gather informations and how we think critically in a particular altcoins. to summarize what i do is to inspect first the coin almost all of its current market and have an analysis before getting in to the market.
